Controversy in Kolkata Derby: Dmitri Petratos misses penalty on second attempt after retaking spot kick

Kiyaan Nassiri's shot was blocked by Hijazi inside East Bengal's penalty area with his hand. The referee pointed to the spot, and the drama unfolded.

The East Bengal vs Mohun Bagan Super Giant derby at the Kalinga Super Cup threw up a controversy when Mohun Bagan failed to convert a penalty after retaking it. After Hector Yuste put the Mariners in lead from a sublime flick, Cleiton D’Silva’s thunderous punch restored parity for the Red & Gold brigade.

However, the talking point of the match came in the stoppage time of first half when Mohun Bagan were awarded a penalty. Kiyaan Nassiri’s shot was blocked by Hijazi inside East Bengal’s penalty area with his hand. The referee pointed to the spot, and the drama unfolded.

Petratos stepped up and put the ball past the East Bengal goalkeeper. However, the referee blew his whistle, asking the penalty to be retaken. There was an infringement into the East Bengal box as the Australian was on his way to score. Mohun Bagan protested vehemently, but the referee stood firm on his decision.

Will the penalty miss come back to bite the Mariners? We’ll soon find out.
